Two Texas greats (Earl Campbell and Ricky Williams) spoke up in support of the
song. Here’s what they said:
Campbell's comments on "The Eyes of Texas" are as follows:
"I'm proud of that song. I think there's a lot of things that can be done other than that song in my opinion. I just believe 'The Eyes of Texas' stands for something."
Williams was also quoted as saying:
"I think it's important to understand our history and to understand where the song came from, but I think it's more powerful to transform the meaning of the song and the definition of the song rather than trying to erase our history like it never existed.”

You can tell that you didn't actually watch the video that he posted. Why would you comment on it when you clearly

These types of conversations always reference back to slavery. That is the reference point for all of it
